Lotus Moon Pearlbush

The Lotus Moon Pearlbush (Exochorda x macrantha 'Bailmoon') is a deciduous shrub known for its beautiful display of white flowers. It is a hybrid plant, resulting from a cross between two Exochorda species. The Lotus Moon Pearlbush typically grows to a height and width of 4 to 6 feet, forming a rounded and compact shape. It has dark green, glossy leaves that provide an attractive backdrop to the abundant blooms. In spring, the shrub bursts into profuse clusters of pure white, five-petaled flowers that resemble pearls, hence its name "Pearlbush." The flowers create a stunning contrast against the dark green foliage and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. As the season progresses, the flowers give way to small, brown capsules that contain seeds. The Lotus Moon Pearlbush prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained soil. It is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that is tolerant of various soil conditions. Pruning is generally not required, but if desired, it can be done after flowering to shape the shrub or remove any damaged or overgrown branches. The Lotus Moon Pearlbush is a popular choice for gardens and landscapes due to its abundant and showy blooms, compact size, and overall resilience.
